Free Reports Frequently Asked Questions

:: The rising sign in this free natal report is different than
I expected, why?

Provided you have entered the date, location, time and
timezone correctly, these charts are accurate. The 'rising sign' changes
roughly every two hours, so the place and time of birth must be accurate
to calculate an accurate rising sign.

The locations in the database and their associated timezones should be
correct. However, further adjustments are made for Daylight Savings Time
at certain locations, and it is worth checking that the timezone set in
the form for your location is correct for your date of birth.

I store the central coordinates for locations, as given by my sources.
If you want to change these in your profiles, you can do this by clicking
on 'Edit Profile' and saving different coords in your profile (this does
not change the database, just your profile). Please make your own adjustments
as you require.

:: How can I see a chart to match my free natal
report?

Click on the round Sun-Moon logo in the upper left hand
corner of the report. This should open a new window which will generate
a chart for the report in question.

N.B. If you find you are not getting a fresh chart image, try clicking
the refresh button in your browser. This should present the new chart
image. Although I have taken every step to ensure the chart image
refreshes, I have found that some systems/browsers can stubbornly retain
the last image. A browser refresh should solve this problem.

:: I have a lot of aspects in my chart and I often
get contradictory interpretations within the same computerized reading,
so it is hard for me to see the overview.

Unfortunately, along with the rise of natal astrology
(more or less a 20th century invention) came the assumption that the astrologer
(or in this case, the computer) should be able to construct a little essay
proclaiming 'what this person is like', without considering that to attempt
such a thing is to attempt the most difficult prediction of all, namely,
how this or that person has so far expressed the various and contradictory
elements at work in his or her psyche. What you usually end up with is
a very gray average picture of the human being - and the 'average' is
a mythical entity.

There is always more going on than we consciously realise. Individually,
human beings are bundles of contradictions. Some charts are glorious,
and others are more difficult. An astrology of imperatives (the idea that
one has a cosmic purpose to fulfill as depicted in the birth chart) acknowledges
this and encourages us to take our cosmic remit to the highest levels
expression, rather than settling for the average expression, whatever
that is. Each planet is a different organ of the psyche; the heart does
not perform the same function as the liver.

:: Can you tell me which of my potential partners
is more compatible for marriage and which is more of a friend?

You will find that you are compatible with different people
in different ways. Every relationship will have some areas of harmony
as well as some areas of discord. The planets represent the different
parts of the psyche, and how the planets inter-relate between your charts
will show how and in what ways you inter-relate with each other. It is
also generally true that soft aspects (conjunctions, sextiles, trines)
indicate a relatively easy interface, whereas hard aspects (squares, oppositions,
and to a lesser extent, ses-squares and semi-squares) produce points of
friction (read more about aspects below). For example, your Sun may be
in trine to your partner's Sun, but your Moons are in square aspect. This
shows that your egos will get along well together, but you will suffer
differences of emotional expression or friction in the domestic sphere.

The type of relationship is also an important consideration in how inter-aspects
will be expressed. A Mercury-Mercury square between two charts could indicate
a dynamic working relationship between a writer and his or her editor,
for example, but would probably be a source of too many arguments in a
marriage. In some cases, both descriptions will be true; if you're married
and also write together, for example.

As for whether a person will make a better marriage partner or 'just
a friend' - that depends on what you're looking for in a marriage partner.
But if you focus on just one aspect of a relationship, say sexual compatibility
(Venus-Mars), to the exclusion of other important areas, the relationship
will run into problems later on. Most of us expect to get along on the
majority of levels with a prospective marriage partner, and we acknowledge
that it is unrealistic to expect perfection. We are only human after all.
We should accept that the ideal relationship exists only as an ideal.
All relationships are a matter of give and take and compromise.

:: I cannot find out what time I was born. Is there
any way that I can receive a predictive reading without this information?

The best place to look is your birth certificate. If your
time of birth is not listed there, you can still run the reports using
a Noon (12:00 pm) Time and Natural Houses, which ensures you won't be
more than + or - 12 hours from your actual time of birth.
The time of birth affects the positions of the natal Moon and the houses
primarily, as these change degree quite quickly.

:: What are aspects?

Aspects are an important part of astrology. As the planets
move in their elongated orbits around the Sun, they form angular relationships
with one another for which astrology uses the Earth as center (the horoscope
is a 'geocentric' map of the heavens). These angular relationships are
called aspects and they make up a fundamental part of astrological technique,
upon which we can overlay the meanings of the signs and houses.

The nature and relative strength of an aspect is determined by the planets
involved and the angle of the aspect itself. Contacts made through the
progressive 'halving' of a circle, the so-called 'hard' aspects, are more
indicative of events and strong personality traits than are the so-called
'soft' aspects. Hard aspects generally include the conjunction (0 degrees),
the opposition (180 degrees), the square (90 degrees), the semi-square
(45 degrees) and a combination aspect called the sesquiquadrate, or ses-square
(135 degrees, or 90 degrees + 45 degrees). The 'soft' aspects, formed
through odd divisions of the circle, include the trine (120 degrees),
the sextile (60 degrees), the semi-sextile (30 degrees), and the quincunx
or inconjunct (150 degrees). Soft aspects tend to be easier to deal with
than hard aspects.

:: What are the effects of planetary direction on my
chart?

You may from time to time see references in astrology
to Direct or Retrograde motion. No planet ever actually changes direction.
However, under certain circumstances - such as when the Earth is overtaking
a planet in its orbit - it can appear to us to be moving backwards (i.e.
clockwise around the zodiac instead of anti-clockwise). When this happens,
which it does with all the planets (but not the Sun and Moon) from time
to time, this is known as Retrograde motion. The normal, forward motion
is known as Direct.

Before a planet goes retrograde, it will appear to slow down in its path,
apparently becoming stationary for a while, then eventually appear to
change direction. When a planet is 'making a station', it is putting its
full weight down, so to speak, in that part of the sky and its energy
can be felt more strongly.

One of the more notable effects of this can be seen every time Mercury
goes retrograde or direct. Communication links, such as those used in
Internet servers, have been known to show an increase in problems during
Mercury stations, and we have observed a painfully predictable breakdown
in communications during every MRP (Mercury Retro Period) we have monitored.

'Think of the history of astrology, which has spread not
only in the West, but also to India, China, and to every high civilization.
They all have their astrological traditions. The stars serve to prognosticate
the future not only of a person, but of humankind... in antiquity, everything
was seen in the sky.' ~ Marie-Louise von Franz
